Boy was it a cold one for our first Maker’s Market showing at Queen Bee Coffee in McDonough, GA on November 29th! The day started with set up at 7am with a balmy 32 degrees! BRRRRRR! The market was open from 8am – 4pm. Temps never rose above about 50 degrees the entire day (it was 80 earlier in the week!) It was our first time attending a show in many years after taking some time off from the “PIE” for a number of years. We had a pretty good turn out and will be donating our profits to a local charity soon. Thanks to everyone that came out and supported us!

HO! HO! HO! This quilt is gorgeous and perfect for snuggling under this holiday seaason!

The quilting process is long……full of highs and lows, but so worth it in the end when you finish the binding, step back and give yourself a virtual high-five for all your hard work…..it’s a great feeling!

Most quilts take 40-80+ hours. They are all made with love and even more swear words. Picking out fabrics, cutting and sewing all the pieces, cutting all those strings, quilting it, binding it, and cutting even more strings. But then, it’s done……and you feel so happy when your art is finally finished, but it’s even better to see someone snuggled up in it! 🙂

I used my Tilda fabric for this one and it turned out MARVELOUS! This one took me closer to 100 hours to complete but was well worth it. I had left over material and made 8 quilted stockings to match it. Usually I am not a fan of being all “matchy matchy” but this worked out quite well and they really compliment one another.

Grab your favorite book, a warm beverage, and this quilted large throw for the perfect cozy afternoon of reading!

This handmade quilt is SO beautiful and gets us all ready for the cooler temps and gorgeous leaves! This quilt would make a great gift, a birthday or Christmas present, or just because! At 72 inches length and 72 inches wide it’s a great size for snuggling under while reading a book or watching TV, and can be used on a Twin/Full bed.

The quilt is made from all cotton quilting fabric, cotton thread and light weight organic cotton batting. The back of the quilt has a complimentary cotton fabric material. The primary colors of the quilt are various shades of peach, gold, brown, pink, black, green, orange, coral and many other colors.

I often get asked if I make all of the quilts? Yes, absolutely. I make each quilt myself; cut out the fabric, make the quilt top and quilt with my own long arm machine. All items are made in a pet free and smoke environment. I do not wash the quilt after I complete it so the new owner can wash and dry with the detergent and scents they prefer. Once the quilt is washed, the classic crinkly quilt texture will pop!
